Lisa tells Aesop’s fable “The Lamb and the Wolf” with its themes of creativity and self-identity. Through clever strategic thinking, the lamb showcases the power of ingenuity in dire situations. Exploring deeper, Lisa offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs facing challenging business landscapes.

Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business story-telling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.

In each episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa tells a fairy or folk tale and then extracts rich business lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes. As she puts it, a tiny tale of nine sentences can encompass worlds.

“We pay a high price when we forget who we are.” — Lisa Bloom
